Strip Counties That Oppose Mask Mandates of Medicaid, Medicare Funds

We are part of The Trust Project

As I see it, you break it, you own it. Putnam County (and any other county that refuses to enforce a governor’s order relating to infectious disease) should not be eligible for any additional taxpayer funded COVID-19 rescue funds that may be distributed to local governments.

Putnam County should not be eligible for any taxpayer-funded Medicaid and Medicare reimbursements for hospitalized COVID patients.

No one is above the law. And that includes laws relating to control of infectious disease.
